When all of your living is one last stand And you're looking around for a friendly hand But your friends have all sailed off to some other land Where their battles demand And you're left here to fight on the best you can Your back's to the ocean, trying to defend Those reasons that made you the kind of man Who's left alone on the sand Don't let those blue waves drag you away When you're floating in oceans lost in deserts of sea You can send out a message: Please come and save me With your notes go bottled hopes that somebody might read Won't they send some relief? If you're just treading water, face up for air Soaked through and heavy, both tired and sacred Those waves keep on rolling, you wish someone were holding you up from despair Don't let those blue waves drag you away You've been pushed around Held down You've been bobbing up and down Nearly drowned But there's hope to be found Down from that blue sky they'll come and carry you away
